When did Floyd Mayweather say he was better than Ali & SRR?

[Ishy Aytan]

SRR did more then him in his career, and had less...

Yep i agree. They fought in different era's hence why its difficult to compare.

People go overboard with what he says, it affects them too much. In his genuine interviews he always praises previous fighters and leaves it as 'they were greats in their era's, im great in mine'.

Still thinking you are the best ever at what you do is not that bad. He put a metric **** ton of work into his craft so he should feel how he likes about what he has done with his whole life (pretty much).

I wish someone would just post the video to clear everything up about what he said or didnt say.

True, you dont fight for 30 years not thinking your the best.

And when he says it, i doubt he's trying to critisize the Ray Robinson, Ali's etc etc.

I don't remember him saying that...I remember him saying they were the great in their eras but this is my era. Something of that nature. Someone clarify...

He said it, I can't remember where but I heard him say it it went along the lines of "I respect what they did for the sport but I don't fight and try hard to go off and say that someone from 50 years ago was greater than me"

Something similar to that

Ask Kobe Bryant if he thinks hes better then Michael Jordan.... See what he says.

[Ishy Aytan]

The best of his era? maybe.... to discredit TRUE ATG's and say hes better then them? is absolute ignorance.

I dont think he's intentonally trying to discredit them as he's never critisized them.

Is there anything wong in saying this? I can't understand what the problem is?

“I can quit today and be known as the best fighter that ever lived. I respect what Robinson and Ali did for the sport. But I am the greatest, and this is my time.”

Most fighters are humble, Foreman believes he would get beaten by guys like Lewis. ALi said Tyson would beat him.

It may not be true, but atleast most fighters are respectful...
